Renew Self-Signed SSL Certificate Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

January 31st, 2011 admin No comments

I havn’t worked with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 much, but today I got thrown into the lions den when a client asked if I could update the SSL certificate because they were getting an error that the certificate was outdated. I searched and searched, but simply could not find the answer I wanted.  After an hour, I FINALLY found the solution on microsoft’s technet, the magic line is below.

1) Open up the Exchange Management Shell

2) Type the following -replacing the information for your server below

New-ExchangeCertificate -DomainName “exchange1.domain.com”, “exchange1″ -Services “SMTP”

The console will ask you if you want to replace the existing certificate. Type “Y” and then ENTER.

DONE!

What a relief! I was finally able to continue the mass of other support calls coming in today.
